Does God Exist??

Over the past few weeks, I have been contemplating the idea of “God”. I want to know if they really exist and if they do, like many, I want to know why things so awry are happening to people. I was initially scared that God would punish me if I investigate more into his best kept secrets. But my classes at the Oneness University reminded me that God never gets angry with anyone; so I continued.

My exploration got results. My discovery pulled me closer to God. I am trying to ink what I think should have happened that brought “God” into existence.

My discovery is in line with the youth course I attended at the Oneness University in 2003-04, the recent book “The Power of Your Subconscious Mind” by Joseph Murphy and the famous Law of attraction. All culminate at the same point – Thoughts and the Subconscious mind. Thoughts can be good or bad that enters our mental living room (conscious mind). Our mental faculties (again the conscious mind) perceive the thought and decide whether to believe or discard it.

The one that we choose to believe is allowed to a magic chamber (subconscious mind) where it will stay as long as we allow it and decide our destiny.

So how does our subconscious mind control our destiny? The answer is simple- because it the real GOD. What we strongly believe or desire or fear or hate will happen to us. The magnetic power of the subconscious mind, unlike the conventional magnet, is so powerful that it can choose what to attract based on the plot laid in our subconscious mind. It does not classify whether the thought is good or bad, it just executes the plot which results in happiness or sorrow.

I would not discuss in detail on how the subconscious mind works in this blog. You can refer to the resources I mentioned earlier or search it for yourself ;-)

With a little understanding of the subconscious mind concept, I started thinking on how did the present world Gods (Jesus, Allah, Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma, etc) come into picture. A design, gradually, appeared in my mind. The subconscious mind is very powerful but its concepts are complicated therefore not easy for a common man, without an inclination to spirituality, to understand its functions. However fact remains fact, irrespective of its awareness, the world will still exist and function, but out-of-order. The violence around us is a classic example for it. There arouse a need to align people towards one goal that would bring love, peace and harmony. Another fact is that it is easy to believe in what we see rather than virtual awareness.

Combining these facts, someone or some group of wise people might have innovated the idea of physical shape for the Subconscious mind. Thus came many Gods in Hinduism each representing different aspect that one needs to alleviate his standard of living in the material world. For example; Brahma for creation, Vishnu for protection and Shiva for destruction and many more. It is also possible that a person who had a deep understanding of Subconscious mind, filled with love and harmony, like Raghavendra, Jesus, Mohammad and many, can be easily related to and therefore were given God status.

Having created God alone might not attract people to worship it and also the basic rule of the Subconscious mind is that it does not classify the thought as good or bad. So the concept of fear was instilled in the minds of people. I do not have to cite them, you might have heard many. The fear of being punished by God for any bad deeds will keep people in check.

If one person’s subconscious mind is so powerful then imagine the power of a collective subconscious mind and thus “Temple” came into existence. A place where a group of people, believing that the physical structure is God, come together and pray for their needs. The beliefs of many people that a physical structure is God makes it more powerful and any person who worships there will get whatever he/she wishes for. In principle, it just the reflection of their subconscious minds.

I do not claim that my discovery is correct. I tried to relate things and concepts using my rational mind and it gave me a design which I have inked here but again it is not just limited to it. Today I am praying with great belief that the physical structure in front of me is just a projection/extension of my subconscious mind and that it will lead me in the right path.
